Ask HN: Are you using Voice AI?

#1
Has anyone here been playing around with or using Voice AI (like elevenlabs.io)? There's all this talk about ChatGPT/GPT-4/LLMs but not as much about Voice AI. It feels like there's so much opportunity here so it got me thinking: how will we be using this tech in the near future?

A few applications:

Real Estate - cold calling at scale to market properties for sale, find off-market properties, etc

Ecommerce - calls to cart abandoners, marketing newly launched products, etc

Appointment Reminders - doctors, spas, barbers, workout classes, etc. Anything where you have to make an appointment, you'll get a reminder.

Politics/Local Government - announcements from local officials/representatives, election announcements, candidate pushes, etc

How else do you think Voice AI will be used? How else have you seen it used? Any applications of it you're excited about?

I've used TTS in a proof-of-concept streaming show about Steam games (GPT-3.5 plus ElevenLabs voices): https://www.twitch.tv/totallyhumanshow

Right now this just plays a canned video on loop—the only thing standing in the way of it auto-generating a new show each day/hour is cost of ElevenLabs TTS; I'd go over quota pretty quickly. I imagine the cost will come down.
